NEW YORK, July 13 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Monday revived more than 500 private lawsuits against Tylenol maker Kenvue over the painkiller's alleged link to autism.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said a district court judge improperly excluded testimony from expert witnesses offered by parents and guardians who tied Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children.

There is no firm scientific evidence of such a link. The issue drew greater attention after President Donald Trump and top U.S. health officials in September suggested a link to autism. Kenvue did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its shares traded down 10 cents at $19.38 in morning trading.

Monday's decision followed Kenvue's agreement last November to be acquired by Kleenex tissue maker Kimberly-Clark for more than $40 billion.

This was unanimous by a Clintonn judge, an Obama judge and a Biden judge. It was more of a technical objection to excluding some expert witnesses and is remanded back to the lower court.

2. Fvkc these nutjobs

Impeach them as soon as we retake the House and Senate. So sick of these damn loons screwing up everything.

4. So we take the House and Senate and with the help of Repubs, we impeach three judges

appointed by Democrats and open the door for Trump to try to replace them. Not the best strategy.

Plus, you would impeach them for issuing a narrow, technical evidentiary ruling that is based on precedents that I'm guessing you haven't studied, and without knowing anything else about these judges.

For example, Judge Calabresi is one of the most acclaimed appellate judges around. Here are a couple of his dissents:
United States v. Calvin Weaver, a case regarding an unwarranted police search of a Black man in which Calabresi argued that the search violated the 4th amendment.
Mujo v. Jani-King International, Inc., in which Calabresi dissented from a ruling that permitted a corporation to require employees to sign a contract giving the corporation power to take part of their salary despite Connecticut's minimum wage laws.

Judge Lee, put on the court by Joe Biden, is the longest-serving public defender to ever serve as a judge on a United States Court of Appeals. She is the second African American woman ever to serve on the Second Circuit. One of the cases in which was in the majority is Kane v De Blasio which ruled against NY school officials and teachers who argued that a COVID era vaccine mandate violated the First Amendment.

And Judge Lynch, an Obama appointee, prior to becoming a judge, argued the prosecution position against Oliver North's appeal of his conviction. And as a judge ruled that the systematic collection of American's phone records by the NSA is illegal. He also wrote the opinion affirming the conviction and life sentence of Ross William Ulbricht for operating the Silk Road underground website responsible for the distribution of over $200 million of drugs and other contraband. If Ulbricht's name sounds familiar because he's the scumbag that Trump pardoned the day after he took office.

So maybe try not being so quick to judge good judges because they made a decision you don't like but probably don't understand either.

5. Driving using a seatbelt also correlates,

as does brushing one's teeth at least every day. Lots of healthy behavior correlates with autism.

Screw these fakers. They should be in prison for pretending to be doctors.
